Trump’s Financial Reforms: Needed Correction or Ticking Time Bomb? 

Trumponomics · 2025-07-16

This week, we examine whether Donald Trump’s efforts to deregulate traditional finance and move crypto further into the mainstream are laying the groundwork for a financial crisis or simply fixing bureaucratic overreach stemming from the last one. 

Christine Harper, a member of Bloomberg’s editorial board and co-author of a memoir by former Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker, and Katanga Johnson, who covers banking regulation for Bloomberg, join host Stephanie Flanders.
